After Mani Ratnam’s Iddaru, Prakash Raj to play Karunanidhi again?
Published on Oct 11, 2019 2:42 pm IST

Versatile artiste Prakash Raj had won his first National award for Best Supporting Actor in Mani Ratnam’s acclaimed political drama, Iruvar (Iddaru in Telugu) in 1997. In the movie, Prakash Raj portrayed a character which was loosely based on former Tamil Nadu CM M Karunanidhi.

And if the latest buzz in Kollywood circles is anything to go by, Prakash Raj may don Karunanidhi’s role once again, but this time in Thalaivi, a film based on the DMK chief’s arch rival Jayalalithaa. Apparently, Thalaivi’s director AL Vijay and producer Vishnu Induri are said to be in talks with Prakash Raj for Karunanidhi’s role. An official announcement is awaited in this regard. Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is reprising Jayalalithaa’s role in Thalaivi, which is being made as a Tamil-Hindi bilingual.
